Publisher's Synopsis
Many previous studies of Brougham have focused primarily on his early years as a leader of the Whig Party in the House of Commons, while regarding his political efforts after 1833 to be of little consequence. After a chapter summarizing Brougham's life to 1829, this study concentrates on the years from 1830 until his death and presents a new portrait of Brougham. It is a many-sided, and colourful portrait.
